Center for Preventive Medicine and Diagnostics
The concept of the Center for Preventive Medicine and Diagnostics opens new prospects for the so-called “Check-up”-medicine. For the first time the whole spectrum of potentials of medicine for the early detection and prevention of diseases is used in full, taking into account the individual risk stratification.
Multilateral prevention.
For different risk groups (unknown profile, low, medium, high) have been developed packages of benchmark surveys, including the following sections of diagnostics:
- check the status of organs using the traditional physical examination and of modern layered diagnostics
- endurance test using versatile functional fitness test
The basis for the package assembly is built using the main recommendations of national and international professional medical associations.
We set high requirements to the applied diagnostic of High Tech class:
Implementing the range of services provided by a specific package of medical examinations, the balance of risks for each individual client is taken into account. Examinations are not arbitrary but focused and based on the relevant regulations (the so-called evidence-based medicine – medicine based on evidences). Your personal wishes are indeed also taken in account.
The medical officer of the Center coordinates the individual examinations within a multidisciplinary team, consisting usually of specialists in cardiology, radiology, neurology, as well as representatives of other branches of medicine.
EPC (Europen Prevention Center) uses only non-invasive diagnostics, i.e. the diagnosis carried out without internal intervention in the body. The main diagnostic method used in this case is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the entire body, allowing to quickly and reliably determine the presence of cancer, inflammation and changes in the blood vessels.
Usually, diagnostics is performed without CT i.e. without the use of X-rays. However, in any branch of the EPC there is a possibility of a multi-layer CT, and in case of elevated risk there is always a possibility to get the best picture for the subtle changes – for example, in the coronary arteries of the heart.
EPC has all possible types of devices for the layered diagnostics available. All large diagnostic tools of High Tech class (ultrasound High-End class, MRI, CT) are updated regularly and are of the latest generation of devices. Provision by EPC of these high-tech systems of layered imaging is possible only through innovative models of economical operation. Each EPC branch office is directly connected with a large medical practice performing a layered diagnostics. This approach provides a cost-effective use of expensive and complex technology for so-called “Check-up”-medicine and makes it available to customers
Service and cozy atmosphere meeting the highest demands are parts of the concept:
All special medical examination may be scheduled and completed in one day.
All examinations are conducted in the EPC.
Between the examinations, you can spend time in a designated for you room, equipped with a bathroom, a TV, personal computer and an Internet connection. The doctor comes to that room to discuss with you the examination results and illustrates them with the images on a flat screen.
Prepossessing and comfortable atmosphere, attentive staff, beverages and snacks.
After the final conversation, presenting the dossier and CD-Rom with the results of the examination, we offer you additional advices and tips on your lifestyle adjustments.
